Description of the problem	2008 bmw 535i took my car into dealership due to car running rough. They couldn't find anything and sent me on my merry way. Took my car in on monday, may 4 due to car running rough and ticking noise in engine... Told them we were going on a 1,000 mile road trip the end of the week. They couldn't find anything but did replace some brake items. Driving home at the end of our trip, on acceleration my car 'skipped' three times.... A couple of minutes later i tested it and accelerated again (on fl turnpike) it 'skipped' hard again three times. Got off at the next exit... At the light i got a 'engine malfunction' light and limped into the 7-11. Put gas in car, called bmw concierge. We were close enough to home to have it towed to the dealership, get a driver to help us transfer all our luggage etc, and take us home. Next day called dealership... They had car day and a half and said it was the fuel injector pump. I understand from tons of bmw owner blogs that this is very common occurrence... We were fortunate enough not to be going 65 miles an hour in front of a semi like many other family's have the misfortune of. I also understand that people have had to have this replace not one, two, or three times but continuous... Four! This is absurd. Where's bmw's integrity to do the right thing, address the situation, and not put their consumers in harms way. Do we near a near death experience or our family's filing lawsuits once we're six feet in the grave for them to stand up and take care of these problems once and for all????

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
